Meet Janet Lansbury

Hi. I'm Janet Lansbury. I'm a parent educator specializing in the infant and toddler years. I love what I do. The philosophy I teach is based on the work of Magda Gerber who was my mentor many years ago and had a profound effect on my life. It’s all about treating babies as whole people from the very beginning and respecting them and I teach it through parent infant and toddler classes and also through my blog, www.janetlansbury.com. I have three children. The oldest is a freshman at Stanford University this year. I also have a 14-year-old and a 10-year-old and they keep me very happily busy. I have a great husband who is totally supportive and I have very little free time but when I do, I like to go for a ride at the beach or take a hip hop class. I love dancing.
